Loki hadn't spoken a single word to you for the last week and it was getting concerning. Had you done something wrong? He ignored every word you met him with, avoiding your eyes and such.

"Hey, muscles, what's up with Loki?"

"He knew you'd realize soon," Thor placed down his hammer after trying to use the lightning to grill a cheese sandwich. "Aphrodite asked him not to speak with you ever again,"

"What? Seriously? What is she? 5 years old??" you huff. "And he listens to her?"

"Yes, as long as they are to keep their courting,"

"That's not toxic at all," exhaling through your nose, a nod was given to the god before you walked down the hall, passing the trickster. Your lips stayed pursed and eyes trailed on the window at the end of the hall.

"Hades!" You laugh as he lifts you over his shoulder, walking down the hall on your floor. "Put me down or I swear to Cerberus!"

"Leave him out of this, darling," You hold back a smile and lay your head in your hand as Hades passed the others. "Ladies," he nods to the girls who snicker.

"Hades?" Aphrodite scoffs. "What are you doing with that thing?"

"This 'thing' ate the last of my chocolate," he pats your side, your head twisting back to see the pink bitch and green simp.

"And this 'thing' said she was sorry!"

"Sorry won't cut it, darling," he ruffles Aphrodites hair making her screech and you burst into laughter.

"Nice rats nest, pinky!" You wave the goddess goodbye, as Hades threw you onto your bed before slamming the door shut.

"Fifty bucks say they fuck," Tony coughs from beside the two deities.

"Hades wouldn't stoop so-" Aphrodite stopped when she heard the squeaking of a bed and giggles. "Zeus help us," she snarls, dragging a scowling Loki away.

"Get off the bed before you hurt yourself," Hades chuckles as you jumped up and down.

"Party pooper," you frown and sit down properly as he fiddles through your snack stash. "Stay away from the starbursts,"

"Anything you say," he takes a pack of cookies and kicks back on your desk chair.

"We've been friends for some time right?"

"I mean it's nearly Christmas break, so yes,"

"Alright, cool," you hum making him tilt his lips to the side.

"Why?" his heart picked up it's beat as his nerves struck with anticipation. "You don't have a crush on me do you?"

"What?? Pfft- No! Gods no," you laugh making him frown. "I just wanted to know if you were gay or not,"

"Oh... Oh! Uhm, yeah, I think," he mumbles making you nod. "You're ok with that right?"

"You think I wouldn't be? Hades, I'm your new wing woman, I'll help you out,"

"Seriously??" His eyes lit up. "You're amazing!" He tackles you down and places kisses all over your face. "These are platonic,"

"If they weren't then I'd be confused," you giggle and hug him back.

"You're bi right?" Pietro sat his head in your lap as he watched Tv, your hand tossing a ball up and down.

"Pfft no... yes... does it matter?" The speedster blurts out.

"Yes, because I have a guy I want to set you up with,"

"Really?" his silver hair falls across his delighted face.

"Mhm, up for it?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, hope you're staying over the holidays, he is too,"

Pietro nods his head frantically before hugging you tight. "Best wing woman ever!"

"Oh, I try," smirking and relaxing back on the couch you could feel his heart racing.

"Smile!" Loki looked up to Aphrodite's camera and gave a shy smile as she posed. "Eh," she deletes that one a picks another filter.

"Sweetheart, must you take so many pictures?"

"Well, I need the world to know I'm with my wonderful boyfriend!"

"Every five minutes?"

"Yes, of course, My schmoopie bear," she coos to him, snuggling him close. He cringes at the pet name, letting out a loving laugh externally in place of his true reaction. "Whatcha reading?" she flips through the pages of his book making him lose track of what page he was on.

"Uhm, Twelfth night, a Shakespearean comedy,"

"These words don't make sense," she takes the book out his grip making him scowl. "Why do they talk like this?"

"It's Shakespeare not twitter, the language is more traditional old English," You hum, passing the two on the couches. "But I wouldn't expect you to understand, so I'll let your Schmoopie bear explain it as best he can,"

"Are you calling me dumb??"

"Idly ignorant with a plethora of nugatory knowledge,"

"Say what?" Loki held back a snicker at his girlfriends confusion.

"This woman's an easy glove, my lord, she goes off and on at pleasure-" You stop yourself when looking to Loki. "Oh, sorry, I forgot I'm not meant to talk to your schoompie bear," you smile at Aphrodite who fumes. "I bid thee farewell, foolish wits,"

"Get out of here!" Aphrodite screeches.

"A most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise breaker, the owner of no one good quality!" You gasp before bowing for the two and venturing towards Nat's room as you were doing before.

"I can't believe her! Speaking gibberish acting all smart," She huffs as Loki hums in absent minded agreement, replaying your insults with an internal smile.
